Dad’s memories are always with me. I remember his fishing days at the bonneville dam. He would take me there and about 1-2 hours he would catch a big surgeon fish! He loved fishing and was very good at it. Today is a day to remember him and know that his spirit is still around us. I really missed him.

When my father passed away
Isolating, confused, depressing, devastating, and fuel for a lengthy list of nightmares and anxiety attacks.

It's dark and difficult. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him, whether it's a happy memory, something I said while we were together, wondering about his final moments, or wishing he could be with me wherever I am.


Gradually, my disbelief and pain turned to accepting what had happened. My dad was no longer in pain or suffering. No more poking needles on his fragile body or swallowing down tons of pain pills. In my heart he would reunite with mom, together again.


Some days are happy. Other days I feel like I'm drowning. Having a loved one die is like having a piece of yourself taken away that you can never get back. You may have good days, but you won't be completely whole again.

I miss you daddy!! For you I will go on living a good healthy life. For one day i pray we will reunite in the afterlife. You will never be forgotten and will always be forever missed. Con Thao thoung Ba nhieu Lam.
